Setback for VfB? How Hoeneß views the dropped points | OneFootball

VfB Stuttgart experiences a slight setback after a dream start to the year 2026 with a 1:1 draw against Union Berlin. The Swabians let the victory, which seemed certain, slip away just before the end of the match.

Sebastian Hoeneß assessed the game for the club's internal media: "We are currently disappointed with the result, but we know how to interpret and accept the draw. We started the game well, had momentum and early opportunities. After this initial phase, the match became more balanced. For the second half, we intended to play even faster and be more active to move the opponent and create gaps," said the VfB head coach.

Particularly, the composure was lacking in his team: "Unfortunately, we were a bit too careless with our chances, but we still managed to score the important 1:0 lead. After that, we couldn't really bring calm into the game. On the contrary, the match remained open. Union showed how stable and good they are this season."
